| Annotation | The Survey shows significant differences in the health care experiences of adults in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. These differences are detailed on separate factsheets for each country; but overall whilst each country excels in its performance on certain dimensions of health care, no one country emerges as "the best". The US in particular stands out as having the most severe health care access problems related to costs, the greatest medical expense burdens, and the most pervasive inequities in care between adults with above-average and below-average income. This Issue Brief summarizes health system differences between the five nations. Overall findings and analysis from the survey can be found in an article in the journal "Health Affairs", May/June 2002. (KJ/RH). |
